Hey Sorry about the wait but here is the next chapter…

Chapter 6 - Misunderstanding

Rose's POV

"Anything Roza" I tried to hide the smile which his nickname brought me, but I couldn't so it spread across my face. I didn't know how to ask him what I had to ask him, because yes he had just told me, that he find me beautiful. But I still couldn't believe that these marks wouldn't make him look at me differently. "How can you look at me?" he frowned at this probable thinking that we just went over this, "No not because you find me disgusting but…." I didn't know how to word it the question was swirling round my head but I couldn't work out how to make it come out. "I was part of Jesse's gang once, because I wanted to be. Your gang usually shoots other gang members on sight…" yet again I ran off into silence having to look away from his beautiful face to the wall opposite me which was covered in clean white tiles. "I know none of you could kill me because I was Abe's daughter. But why didn't you just let me die? You all had the prefect chance to get rid of another gang's member with actually having any fault" I couldn't look at him, but I felt his fist tighten from where he had been tracing the water.

"Don't ever think that" he said and I could tell he had a clenched jaw. "No one in this gang wants you dead. Actually quite the opposite, do you know what people's reactions were when we found you" I still couldn't bring myself to turn and look at his beautiful eyes or handsome face. Then I felt his hand on my chin forcing me to turn and look at him. I was alarmed by the desperation which was clouding his eyes, "I love you, and I know that no one in this gang would want to see you dead" my breath rushed out me, did he just say he loved me, did I love him. Could he really love me when I was branded I like I was. But I decided I would think about it later and I would tell him the think which was bugging the back of my mind since I woke up. "Tasha obviously did" Because I was looking at him I could see the confusion settle over his face. "What?" he said sounding unsure that he wanted to know the answer "Tasha she was there, I pleaded for her to help me. But she just stood there…" I didn't get to finish my sentence because Dimitri was on his feet grabbing his duster, "I'll call Eddie to come help you. I need to talk to someone" I was confused to where he was going, but it didn't seem like he was going to tell me. He put his duster on in one movement then crouched down and kissed my forehead "I love you" he whispered with his lips still pressed against my skin. Then he was up and walking out the room, looking like he was about to go murder someone, I was sort of scared for whoever's safety that he was going to talk to. Just before the door closed I heard him say "Look after my heart" then there was a soft bang as the door swung close.

I lay back against the end of the bath trying to ignore the pain which shot all over my body at the movement. I tried to work out if I loved Dimitri and I knew straight away and I had I loved him since he had threated my life in the ally way. The way he had shouted for me to run, slipping his hand perfectly into mine to keep me going. The way his lips fitted mine perfectly, the way his skin was soft but also ruff from where he had been outside training and fighting. I smiled as I realised just how much I liked Dimitri, then I was brought from my thoughts as the door opened slowly to two people, Ambrose and Eddie stood smiling in the door way. Then they came to sit with their backs against the way facing me in the bath.

Dimitri's POV

How dare she, Tasha was meant to be one of my best friends. We had grown up together I had even helped her when he old gang was after her. And now I was walking through the VA compound towards her room. Ready to do anything to punish her for what she did to my Roza, how could she just stand there when that son of a bitch used her as a plaything, cut her precious skin. I almost felt sick to thing that one of my friends would be that selfish. I knew she liked me it was painfully obvious but I choose to ignore it knowing I would never return her feelings, she was no more than a friend to me, and now she wasn't even that. I know I hadn't done my best covering up my love for Rose, but no seemed to care about. Abe and I had talked about it just before we had gone to the club to do the deal, he had told me he knew I liked her and he was fine with it as long as it didn't affect the operation.

And I wouldn't be able to make words which would tell you how jealous I had been watching her dance with that twist barsted but I knew I had to let it happen if I walked up to him and punched him like I wanted to it wouldn't just be the deal which would be in danger but people's lives, and most importantly the one I loved the most. But she had been hurt anyway and it was all the fault of the person's whose room I was currently stood in front.

I didn't bother with knocking knowing I was too angry with that. So I slammed open the door letting it hit the wall next to it. To see Tasha lying on her bed, like she hadn't just played a part in allowing my beautiful love being tortured. "Ahh Dimitri I was wondering when you would come." I clenched my jaw at how relaxed she was. She stood up from the bed and came towards me making her sickly thin waist swing side to side with what I guess was meant to be a sex smirk, but it made me want to throw up. But finally she reached me, laying her hand on my chest I just glare at her, giving her warning to get her hand off me. "Think Dimka, if she's out the picture we can be together. Remember when we were little and you promised me we would get married." I did remember my six year old self had been naïve and stupid, but I was nothing like him anymore. So I found it easy to push Tasha off me. She obviously didn't suspect me to push her because she lost her balance slightly but caught the set of draws quickly. She once again came towards me, and it was taking everything in me not to punch her.

"Come on Dimka she is a child you can't love a child. She can't pleasure you like I can" That did it I slammed her against the wall in anger. She just smirked "I like this position" I looked down to see that one of my knees was in between her legs and my arm was across her chest. In my anger I punched the wall just above her head, and I saw her flinch which made a twisted smile spread across my face. "I hate you" I said repeating three times "Why did you have to do it, you were my friend Tasha" she smiled and said words which made sick raise in my throat "I love you" I had wanted to hear those words to day but from someone very different, someone I actually loved back. But I was crash away from my thoughts as Tasha's lips touched mine. I ripped mine from hers as soon as I knew what was happening but the voice which came round the room said it was to later, some had saw.

"Miss. Ozra I believe you are already meant to be gone from my compound" I jumped off Tasha at the voice turning to see Abe stood crossed armed with both Mason and Adrian at his flanks then behind them was a Confused looking Christain and Lissa who was shaking her head. Liss left frist and I knew she had gone to talk to Rose, and tell her that I had kissed Tasha, it was the thing a best friend should do. I want to run after her make her stop explain to her. But there were four strong men stood in between me and the door way, and two could use fire and one could use sprit, so I stayed put knowing in a matter of minutes my life would probably be blank mean nothing. Tasha grabbed a bag which was laying on the end of her bed and left quickly passing through the men still at the door. "Mason show Natasha out" Mason nodded and grabbed Tasha's arm dragging her away. I saw Christian stare after them for a moment before looking back at me. "Adrian please will you please tell everyone a meeting is set for nine tonight" Adrian nodded and left, "and Christian get my ex-wife on the phone please" Christian gave me a glare then disappeared to do Abe's bidding. "And you" he said looking right at me "I don't know what we walked in on" I was about to tell him but he held up his hand silencing me. "And I don't want to. But I must say Stay away from my daughter Belikvo she has been hurt enough. But I am not sure she will want see you again when Vasilisa tells her what we just saw." I nodded trying to keep tears in, "I know what it feels like to lose a love, but I can't have you hurting her, and you already have" Abe patted my shoulder before exiting the room. I stood there for a moment staring blanking at the doorway and the wall in the corridor outside. Then decided Abe might have let his wife get away because of an misunderstanding but I would not give up my Roza, and I went to explain to her.
